Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Improved Grammar of the English Language If is called also a conjunction. His is not true it is always a verb, being only a contracted form of give. The fact is the same with though; it is a verb, but defective. To the syntax, I have added several new rules and illustrations; the British Grammars, in this particular, being very defective. In deed, so defective and erroneous are the British Grammars, and the compilations in the United States, formed on their principles, that without some further helps, the construction of many established and legitimate phrases and sentences in our language, cannot be explained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Grammar of the English Language The grammar of our language has received too little atten tion from men engaged in literary pursuits. Those who have written on the subject, with the exception of Tooke and Webster, have paid too much regard to ancient, and too little to cotemporary and cognate languages - and too little also to the language itself as it is spoken and written. It is not a subject unworthy the attention of men who have attained an elevated rank as scholars. It has, on the contrary, high claims upon those who feel an attachment to elegant litera ture, and a solicitude for the improvement of the medium by which so much pleasure and instruction [8 imparted. -the learned of France and Italy, by. The attention which they have devoted to this branch of literature, have acquired for their respective languages a high reputation; would our own scholars but consider the subject worthy thelr attention, they might easily vindicate the claim of the English to an equality at least with either.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Common-School Grammar of the English Language Language, said Sheridan, is the great instrument by which all the faculties of the mind are brought forward, moulded, and polished. He why travels over our extensive country can easily observe that wherever the people have a limited and obscure knowledge of language, there all the other elements of civilization and refinement are in a correspondingly undeveloped state; but that wherever it home is surrounded by the bean ties ef nature and art, there is also generally heard such language as reveals the presence of literature and the cultivation of thought and sensibility. Language is at once the most useful, powerful, delicate, and durable instrument wielded by man. It materializes thought, so as to make it tangible, permanent, and transmissible; and it thus carries civilization into every nook and corner of the world. It receives the intellect, heart, and achievements of every generation; and bears forward the responsible bur den to be judged by every future generation. While the marble crumbles.

Download or read book A New English Grammar Vol 1 written by Henry Sweet and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New English Grammar: Logical and Historical - Volume One is a text authored by Henry Sweet, a doctor, lawyer, author, and editor, as well as a one-time president of the Philological Society. This text is a reference guide and textbook for proper usage of the English language. A New English Grammar assumes a descriptivist perspective towards proper language usage, in that author Henry Sweet focus more energy into describing how English is properly used than recommending one usage as more correct than another. The book takes an almost scientific approach, and is remarkable in its thoroughness. The text begins with an introduction in which the various parts of speech are detailed. From there, Sweet examines the correct usage of said parts, looks into the history of the English language, presents a detailed chapter on phonology, and concludes the book with a lengthy section about accidence. Henry Sweet was a brilliant linguist, and this attribute comes across quite clearly while reading A New English Grammar. His book is a detailed and thorough analysis of the English language, and one that could serve to improve the grammar skills of any reader, from the new language learner to the experienced wordsmith. The explanations of sometimes complex grammatical rules are presented clearly, and provided examples serve to simplify the learning process. Readers interested in a textbook on the proper usage of the English language would be wise to consider Henry Sweet's A New English Grammar: Logical and Historical - Volume One. It is a professionally written and clearly explained work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grammar of the English Language Language is a growth, and, like every other growth, is primarily dependent upon an inward vital energy. It has its origin and its development in answer to an instinctive desire of the soul to express its thoughts and feelings. The power of speech is stimulated by the presence of external objects, and takes its actual form by means of an unconscious ability to imitate the vocal symbols which chance to be made the conventional representatives of thought. It matters not to what nation or people the child may belong: be he English, French, German, or Chinese, it is all the same. The speech which he hears in his childhood becomes his vernacular tongue, and all others are foreign. Place him among the cultivated and refined, and he employs, he knows not why, the pure and polished speech of his guardians and associates. On the contrary, let him fall among the rude and illiterate, and he as readily and as surely accepts for his native lan guage, his mother tongue, their perverted words and incorrect modes of expression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language: For the Use of Schools It is generally admitted, at least by those persons who frequently have occa sion to write the English language, that the knowledge of this subject, obtained in our schools, is not sufficient for the various requirements of life. In the fol lowing pages we therefore ofi'er to the public an English Grammar that is de signed to be, for practical purposes, more thorough than any other we have seen, the very largest not excepted. In its matter, it does not difi'er much from other grammars, except that it has more, and that much of it is fresh from the original sources of the science. What ever others have written on the subject, I have endeavored to ascertain; though I trust I have treated them less piratically and censoriously than most of them have treated their predecessors. The incidental remarks on grammar, made by reviewers, philologists, and other writers, have been diligently sought and con eidstod. The best grammars of foreign languages have also been consulted, especially those of Becker, Vivier, Andrews, Crosby and Kiihner. Of the axer cises to be corrected, about one half are the best 011 those which form the com! Mon inheritsme of the science; and for the others I have red some work or works fi'om every State in the Union, in order that the book may show all the various kinds of errors which are now current, like undetected counterfeit money, in the various parts of our country. If children imbibed no errors at home, it were well to exclude such exercises from grammars: but when a person has already caught a disease, I suppose it is best to convince him of his condition, and show him how to t rid of it. Errors in spelling, and errors manufactured by grammarians, are course objectionable; but errors that are gathered from the usage of good writers are a very different thing. Besides, parsing and an alysis. When used alone, become too monotonous and wearisome, and hardly suffice to teach the correct use of the language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1843 edition. Excerpt: ...only, but many; hence the verb is plural. But in this sentence: "Of which seeming equality we have no other measure, but such as the train of our ideas have lodged in our memories."--Locke. The word train seems rather to require the verb in the singular. So in the following. "The number of the names together were about a hundred and twenty."--Acts, 1. 15. The word number expressing a sum of particulars, might well have the verb in the singular. In the following sentence, there can be no question that the verb ought to be in the singular. "The correctness of these remarks is questionable." Here correctness can not imply an aggregate of particulars. Note.--When an aggregate amount is expressed by the plural names of the particulars composing that amount, the verb is often in the singular number j as, "There was more than a hundred and fifty thousand pounds sterling."--Mavor's Voyages, 1. However repugnant to the principles of grammar, this may seem at first view, the practice is correct; for the affirmation is not made of the individual parts or divisions named, the pounds, but of the entire sum or amount. (See this subject more fully explained under rule XIV.) The Romans used a greater latitude in joining plurals with collective names than we can--" Magna pars in villis repleli cibo vmoque."--Liv. 2. 26. Here is a pronoun plural of the masculine gender, agreeing with a noun in the singular, of the feint nine gender. RULE X. Pronouns or substitutes must agree with the names they represent, in number, gender and person; as, "Mine answer to them that do examine me is this." 1 Cor. 9. 3. "These are not the children of God."--Rom. 9. 8. "Speak to the children of Israel, ...
